A crossover of light and dark

17. the aura of history

When the car stopped not far from the university where the first attack happened everyone was in a mess of hysterics from "We got to go back and help them" to"We got to get in this place and finish what we started" it looked like we were going to split up but after a small discussion I convinced Caleb to join me Selene and Michael and the detectives, so now here we are walking

 through the museum it was big and the exhibits were massive some huge like the statues, I remember I had experiences like them about the lourve last time I was in Paris with selena, aimee, our sisters, and judas. I sighed as we started in and by now the place had become deserted, but I knew better we had to get lost to find the opening to the clocktower.

 it was this goofy magic security that went through the building we wouldn't find the place unless we're sure there's no way out, lost in other words-no direction, so I nodded and we started to walk into the place, starting with the massive black gates that surrounded the place, and passing into the aura of the British museums, and I could tell we were at the right palace

 place I could feel it in my bones, we passed up the stars and ast the massive columns that were marble, seeing through the windows casually before entering into the doors-of admiring the pieces of art 

We entered the three-way chamber there was a massive white glow coming from the center with massive black webbing in the sky and a massive circular oval  tower with small windows, and two massive plaques around were windows and statues, one of which was "marble statue of a

 youth on horseback"-from Rome perhaps 1rst century AD-giacomo della porta, another we picked up on as we were wandering around the tower of white and passing more marble columns and passing tables and stores were a massive brown totem pole-House frontal pole haida-british columbia canada Canada about 1850 made of red cedar wood 

I could feel the energy coming off it as I felt it from the youth on horseback, in fact, there were three of them about same size and texture with carvings on them we kept looking around and Selene asked "There's a lot of artifacts here, do you know any of them?" and I scowled slightly and said

 'we're from Europe not Tahiti even that marble statue of the youth was done before my time jag är inte bekant"" which was "I'm not familiar" in Swedish and she nodded and cocked her head to the side I waved everyone "lets keep going the entrance should be nearby. "

 that's when Michael said "That wasn't Italian you spoke Ciaran and likely Kraven or Lucien won't be too far behind" and I nodded "I also speak Swedish, you didn't think that Italian was my only language" so we kept moving as we kept walking Michael and Caleb. We passed a stone statue

 called "the stone guardian Figure" from north east China Quing dynasty. I eyed it if there was one thing I learned is that statues have a of power to risk they can be guardians, creatures or wards, or likely this one was surveillance I didn't like statues I was put into a coma by a statue that attacked us, gargoyles are an example of statues that I feel kept me up at night.

 This one lined the spirit roads to tombs or so it said and soon we ran into another one the same, the odds that there were two by each other by an entrance says "guard" or "surveillance", we also stopped by an Anubis statue, and if there's one thing that selena has taught me is that the Anubis doesn't play whether its a statue or not. I sighed and we kept walking I looked around

 and said "I have a feeling they know we're here,spero di sbagliarmi" I said and Sherlock and Watson raised eyebrows "How? I dont see any cameras or any radios and what was that" and I sneezed before saying " I...said...hopefully I'm wrong. There's more than radios or cameras that can work as surveillance" 

 Selene nodded and so did Michael and Caleb, so we kept walking that's when Nox formed out of my core without me summoning and he only did that when he sensed something urgent and he was moderately weak without the incantation or the gate. At this point I was worried and said "Nox what do you sense?" he was quiet for a time and just growled and said "You have been

 spotted read the energy in the room Ciaran" I looked around the massive white marble walls and at first I didn't sense it but the more I traveled through the air became stale..a field had been opened somewhere inside, and given the fact there were all these windows on the inside and nothing to see inside...

  We continued to walk and I pulled out my knife and flicked it open and slit my arm and sprayed blood in the air that formed into the weapon that I hold a trident with a sword blade on the other side and of the iron from my blood. It was dark red almost black as the color of human blood is. I then walked forward through, the thing is only certain individuals can see magic, and

 my weapons are nothing. So we kept walking through the museum unsure what was coming. As we passed over a table, Sherlock pointed behind to the screens and said "see cameras there's nothing to fear guys

I heard the sound of a loud growling and we stopped as we looked into the exit we looked up the massive lion leaped from the roof structure and landed in front of the exit it growled at me Caleb

 Selene michael sherlock and Watson and I jumped back and spun my weapon around before closing my eyes and opening them causing energy to glow around me and creating a barrier around us as I chanted "liev" and the energy field opened around all of us saving us from public eyes. 

 we can't determine what this beast is going to do That is when I said "Take heed The Winged Lion is a hungry, gluttonous demon that consumes the desires of beings near it. It is capable of granting wishes, which it often does as it devoured one's desires. è una bestia" which meant 'its

 a beast" in italian and it roared at us and leaped towards us, and in a matter of a few moments we learned how hard it was to fight this beast, even with my own power and Selenes guns going off there was little that could be done to these beasts. Thats when I heard  bell go off and that's when I found myself rather suddenly falling into the darkness...
